Calling taking a medicine an addiction is strange, sounds like they do not factor in it being a medicine.
For example, those with autism or schizophrenia have a faulty 'fatty acid binding protein 5' (fabp5)[1] which moves endocannabinoids to where they are needed[2]. Flooding the bloodstream with cannabis seems to help[3] by unlocking receptors that would normally be unlocked by endocannabinoids delivered by fabp5.
Obviously this is just one of many health benefits, such as muscle recovery[4] (who would even want that??? bloody addicts i tell ya!)
